Nutshells are a series of books designed to present the essentials of law in clear, straightforward language, especially those topics favoured by examiners. For more than 30 years, students have regarded Nutshells as the ideal means of revising their subjects. This new title explains how law can be used to protect the environment. It introduces the legal framework used to regulate land use and pollution control together with the obligations it places on potential polluters. It incorporates issues affecting the development of environmental law, including the Precautionary Principle and Human Rights Act 1998.
